Notwithstanding, it tells the story of how Thiodolf and his clan - the Wolfings, men of the Mark- fight and vanquish the Roman invaders. The book is built with Morris' knowledge of the historical period and his own idealistic views, which allow him to combine facts and mythical elements. Thiodolf is protected by a dwarfish coat of mail, given to him by his lover Wood Sun, herself one of the Vala, the immortals.

It's unusual to read such convincing world-building from a book written that time.
